That’s more like a downgrade with respect to light output.

I prefer function over looks but they do match your fogs pretty well

I've been back on stock for about 6 months now, it's killing me!! With the twins arriving back in October, priorities have shifted a bit, even worse is I've had a replacemnt RLM bumper sitting in the garage (and on '07 rear bumper) for just as long!! But good news is I'm dropping them off tomorrow for paint, FINALLY!!

Here's why I am back to stock:



And here's why it took so long to get replacements painted and put on:

Um, thanks for wasting a post in my thread. ftl to you is ftw for me, but thanks! Do you think I didn't know this going in...

I'm not getting defensive or anything but that's the one thing about this site that sucks. Someone always has to chime in with just a bit of negativity and bring the whole vibe down. (and thanks NmexMAX for post #7, same deal)

So I guys let me revise my thread title so maybe I can dodge these useless comments:
"Downgraded my HID's to be a s bright as halogens!! Check it out!!"

So "FTL" For the loss, isn't negative? It is always hard to get the emotion (or non emotion) when reading a post, that's the problem with forums! Apology accepts and sorry for calling you out!!
As for the safety of it, you can definitely see me coming, it's not like I put 2 candles in there you know! Plus we got the minvan for the kids (3 total) so now I can have more fun with the Max!!!

Thanks, looks like you got your hands full with twins. I can't complain. She eats and sleeps and she's beatufill and healthy, not much crying and I still get my zzzs at nights. God bless her and her mom.

Now get that bumper back on your maxie, we are so used to it and don't want to see a stocker on your super-duper ride.

Ha, we're on the same page, I have replaced every light with LED's (excpet the visors) I plan to do the 3000K HID's early next year. And I will have my fogs back in my new bumper as well, you won't miss me EVER!
